The Green Monster

Introducing the Green Monster While the left field wall in Fenway Park is not coated in Teflon®, there is another “green monster” in the game.  Perhaps you were not aware that Intech Services, Inc. carries a PTFE product that, along with good co-efficient of friction qualities and operating temperature ratings, is also reinforced with fillers to provide good abrasion resistance.  The product is 958-414, a Dark Green PTFE, is a member of the Teflon® S family of products, and is available today. Early returns on this product have been very favorable with coaters using it in the Automotive industries and many other industrial environments.   One quality about 958-414 is that it cures at a relatively low temperature, 355°F, but provides the end user with a continuous operating temperature rating of up to 400F.  The formulation of this coating also allows multiple film builds prior to doing a final cure.  This coating is not FDA compliant, so it is not recommended for use in the food industry, but with its unique properties it can be valuable in many industries. "This coating is as tough as nails, with nice slip," Rich We are excited to include 958-414 in our arsenal of coatings, much like pitchers on the field at Fenway use their Green Monster as a tool in their bag.   If you'd like to try the Green Monster, order a gallon.  It's in stock here at Intech.  To expand your knowledge and understanding of the DuPont Teflon® coating line, consider attending our next I³ Teflon® Products Training Seminar scheduled on June 15 & 16, 2010.  Visit www.intechservices.com to learn more about DuPont Teflon® Industrial Finishes line and I³ Intech Information Institue.

Back to Basics

Back to Basics - Managing Customer Relationships & Finding New Business                         It’s more important than ever, in a slow business climate to go back to the basics.  Taking a customer’s loyalty to you and your organization for granted often leads to the loss of that customer’s business. The following are tips to solidifying the relationships you have with the most important facet of your business:  Your Customer. Stay close to your customer Now more than ever is the time to nurture the relationship you have with your customer.  You can count on your competition knocking on his door.  They’re slashing prices, paying attention to your customer and trying their best to get a foot in the door. General “Customer Satisfaction” Survey A survey is a great way to proactively uncover objections and concerns that could lead to your customer looking at alternative solutions.  The survey could be taken on the phone or in person by sales or customer service people.  Your customer will appreciate the effort and the dialogue often leads to additional opportunity. Analyze your customer base Review present and past sales activity of each customer.  Assess opportunity there might be to re-acquire lost business and/or grow current business. Analyze your list of companies that used your services in the past.  Re-engage old customers to see if they are open to evaluating your services again. Talk to others in your organization Seek out people who might be more familiar with the history current and old customers have had with your organization.  They may have insight into why a piece of business was lost and what it would take to get it back.  You might find that people who were involved in the customer’s decision to stop using your services aren’t even there anymore. Often a fresh face and new efforts will re open doors that have been long closed.

Focus on Sales

5 Sales Fundamentals to Focus on in These Crazy Times     In this economy and during this time of year it can be easy to let your guard down and stop paying attention to some sales fundamentals that have made you successful in the past. But, in fact it’s more important than ever that you’re consistently professional with the way you manage a sales opportunity. The following data is from: How Clients Buy: 2009 Benchmark Report on Professional Services Marketing and Selling from the Client Prospective.  Listening 38% of buyers reported that the service provider “did not listen to what I was saying.” 55% of these buyers said they would be “much more likely” to consider the provider if they improved in this area. It never hurts to take a step back when you’re speaking with a customer and listen to yourself. Examine your listening skills. Asking Questions Without questioning it is difficult to uncover your customer’s needs. They’re not the expert, they often don’t know what to tell you and if you don’t ask the right questions, your chances of developing a fair even poor solution for your customer increases. 30% of buyers said providers “do not understand my needs” and 63% of the same buyers would “be much more likely” to consider the provider if they improved in this area. Developing Compelling Solutions If you are not listening and not asking probing questions it makes sense that 22% of buyers say service providers “did not offer a compelling solution.” And, 63% of buyers would be “much more likely” to consider purchasing services with an improvement in this area. Timely Response 30% of buyers said service providers “did not respond to my request in a timely manner.” 57% said they would be “much more likely” to consider a service provider if they improved. A buyers experience during the sales process is a test run for working with you as a customer. His perception is that if you’re late before you’ve gotten the business, there’s a strong likelihood that you’ll be late for the delivery of your products and services. Use Good Examples Into your conversation weave specific examples of customers you have worked with in their industry with the same sort of needs. It shows that you are hearing what their saying, that you understand their needs and the service providers experience with similar situations gives you real credibility.                      If you have not yet registered on www.intechservices.com, Click Here to Create a New Account.

Performance Test Results

DuPont Multi-Coat Systems Offer Better Value than the Competition Over the years, DuPont has developed many coating technologies for the consumer segment that prove to be very successful for industrial applications.  The old versions of SilverStone*, SilverStone Supra*, and 857-line have been replaced by a new generation of superior coatings from DuPont.  These products continue to demonstrate exceptional levels of durability, release, and thermal resistance in a number of industries such as food processing, packaging, office automation, and molding.                                                  Series 1 (459N-11xxx line) and Series 4 (459N-411xx) DuPont recently tested their Series 1 and Series 4 coating lines against a well established competitive three coat system.  The results confirmed our feelings that the DuPont products are an excellent choice for applications that require high levels of durability, release, and thermal resistance.  More importantly, we learned that the Series 1 products offer exceptional performance at a considerably lower price than its competitive alternative.  If you have not utilized these products, we encourage you to evaluate them on your next project.  Below is a summary of the relative test results.  Please contact Chris Dohl at Intech Services for a copy of this data in .pdf format.  Chris can also provide you with more specific test results on these excellent Dupont Coatings.    Performance Tests In addition to tests that determine the quality of coating application, DuPont uses a set of performance tests. These tests show coating performance, and are therefore useful benchmarks for comparison with existing coatings, as well as in the development of new ones. Taber Abrasion (Avg Wear - mg / Kcycle) Coefficient of Friction (Static) Applied Cost ($ / FT2) DuPont Series 1 (459N-11xxx line) Two - Coat System 4 / 5 Stars 4.5 / 5 Stars 4 / 5 Stars DuPont Series 4 (459N-41xxx line) Three Coat System 5 / 5 Stars 4.5 / 5 Stars 2 / 5 Stars Competition Three Coat System 5 / 5 Stars 4 / 5 Stars 2 / 5 Stars * Small number of samples tested. Results dependent on coating application and substrate preparation. Sample Preparation: Cold rolled steel panels were prepared and coated according to fact sheet recommendations. DFTs were approximately 1.5 mil. Taber Abrasion The Taber Abrasion test method determines the resistance of coatings to abrasion. This test method is normally used to rank coatings rather than placing significance on the numerical values themselves. The coating is subjected to a set number of cycles per ASTM D 4060-95 and the weight loss is measured and normalized to remove variability due to film thickness differences. Coefficient of Friction Coefficient of Friction testing determines how “slippery” a coating is. A weight is pulled across a coating’s surface at a specified speed. The force required to move the weight from a standstill (static) as well as to continue motion (kinetic) is measured, resulting in coefficient of friction values for the two cases. The lower the value determined, the more “slippery” the coating surface.

Why Roll Teflon Coatings?

It is recommended that Teflon* Coatings be mixed by rolling the container in which it is delivered before it's first use and the first time the container is opened each day.  It is also recommended that it be rolled several times throughout the day it is being used.  This will contribute to consistent quality of application throughout the product's shelf life. 

First mixing should be accomplished on a roller system at approximately 30 RPM for 30 minutes.  Mixing during the day for 10 minutes each time at 30 RPM is sufficient.

Use of impeller type mixers could result in a "sheer" affect on the floropolymers in the liquid, adversely impacting the quality of the coating.  Automated shakers and tumblers are not recommended, as their motion is too aggressive and can cause the liquid to separate potentially damaging the coating material.
